Car Radio Question.....

I gotta Microsoft Zune and I'm interested in changing my radio in my car and getting something else to work with the Zune...

I got this old *** radio from 2005...

http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-KD-AR...VQQcmdZViewItem

Anyways, my buddy has one of these for me for 150.00 (used)

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-WBTJa1...fp&I=113KDCX990

It's a good radio but I don't have a iPod anymore and the zune won't work with it so I was thinking of getting something with the front aux input jack and just copping one of those 20 dollar cables to make it work with the zune....

A radio like this I had in mind...

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-WBTJa1...00&I=130DEHP290

I can just get that Zune fm transmitter but I don't think they sound as good as a modulator does so I wanted to aviod that.....

Anyways, what would be my best option? I can cop a radio off Ebay new for 100 shipped and I'm not really into all the bells and whistles.. I just want great sound, mp3 and to be able to hook up the Zune to the radio and a remote...

Let me know what ya think, if ya think it's best to cop that 150.00 Kenwood, I'll just go ahead and do that.

Peace.

The radio I can get for 150 is the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X990.

But besides that, the radio I'll probably get is the Pioneer DEH-P3900MP.
